January + February

 Welcome back!

First of all, I apologize for the delay in posting this. I wish I could blame it on busyness, but it was also kind of a little procrastination. BUT, I hope you all had a fabulous January + February! It's still crazy to think we're now in the year of 2022, (am I the only one who continually keeps writing 2021 and then has to replace it with 2022?!). 

During January we had the privilege of getting to witness the marriage of Dalton + Kenzie,                        Mom and Katherine made a sudden trip to Colorado for some family business (we ended up going two in a half weeks without her, which, if you have seen the movie "Cheaper by the Dozen," you understand how the last few days without her went. We were overjoyed to have her back home by the end of the 2 1/2 weeks!!), winter shenanigans, and other life happenings!     

I think I can speak for everyone when I say, that I think the highlight of February was getting to go to a trampoline park (it being the first for-many-of us)!                                                                                  January + February were honestly filled with more work and school (things that aren’t picture worthy) so that even though they were busy months, we don’t have many pictures to show for it.                                                    So, for once prepare yourself for a rather short post!

Wedding Bound!

Dalton Ford and Kenzie Knapp’s wedding!

Mr. and Mrs. Ford! That will take a little while to get used to!
So happy for you guys!!
And speeches are made


And absolutely beautiful singing!

‘Twas a beautiful wedding for sure!!
Congratulations Dalton and Kenzie!!
~Positives of winter~
Candid for some candid photos
I absolutely love getting to babysit this little ray 
of sunshine that already knows how to smile perfectly for selfies! <3
What a cutie!!
While Mom and Katherine were in Colorado, Katherine was able to spend quite
 a bit of quality time with Grandma’s. She absolutely loved getting all the pampering!
Mom, Maddy, and Katherine were also able to attend the National Western stock show in Denver while in town, which looked and sounded amazing!! We all were “slightly” jealous ;- )



Mom, Katherine, and Maddy


We had the privilege of taking care of some friends’ chickens for a few weeks. 
Definitely a learning experience, and a fun time of some friendly competition when it came to cartoning eggs.


What most of January looked like. 
It made things interesting, that is for sure!
But it also made things beautiful, so I’m not complaining!
Norah: Always has a smile on her face even when taking care of pigs in below zero tempts
However others didn’t take being stuck inside so well…….
Just another day with Peyton
    
Trampoline Park bound! 
Isaiah’s good at getting rather comical selfies of himself!

Big Air Trampoline Park in Branson
The memories from this place are for the books, the pictures not so much lol, but just ignore that fact!

The Bull 
where you literally get flung every way possible



Go Mom!!




We were blessed to meet this very gracious man who took us around almost the whole trampoline Park and even let us stay a little longer than normal!
We all loved him a lot :)
Thanks for the fun time, Ford’s!
Here we are at the Homeschool skate with the Lang’s!
It’s definitely so much more fun with these special people!
4-wheeler adventures with Norah
Man, was that a fun night!!
Our crew!!
I love this kid so much!
We had quite the project in February. Learning how to make cases for our (very sad) couch cushions. Let’s just say they look like they’ve had to withstand ten kids.
Finished product!
Wouldn’t be my first choice, but hey, it works (plus we now know how to make cushion covers)!                                                               
When left in the van at Costco 
after Church with siblings phones, we spam ‘em with pictures
…all kinds of pictures.
Welp, that’s all for now! Until next time!

Now that Isabelle has been 12 for a month now, I finally got around to getting her pictures done! This post will be short and sweet and a big long one will be coming soon (hopefully)!

August In A Nutshell

Hello folks!  We hope you all had a great August!  This month Mom, Dad, and Isaiah drove to CO to drop Peyton and Norah off, so they could visit with our Grandmas for two weeks. They were supposed to go to Germany and Austria with Grandma Mary in June, but, due to covid19, they weren’t able to go.  But they still needed some Grandma time! We also butchered around 300 chickens this month. We’ve never butchered that many at the same time before, so we broke them up into two different butcher days. (Since we had to cut up 200 of them).  And took steers to the butcher!!!  August was also ‘drought  month’ for MO. The fields turned crispy brown,  which hasn’t been helpful for our grazing cattle.   Thankfully, we’ve gotten some good rains right at the end of the month,  and things have once again greened up! Priscilla (my cow) FINALLY had her calf!! We’ve been waiting so long for her to arrive! (YES!!! She had a heifer!!!!!!) So, the process of milking has finally begun! And we’re already get

April

 Welcome Back!! Hope you all had a great April! For us, it was quite crazy! But I guess we should be used to that by now. Overview of April: Springfield Symphony with my cello teacher, her husband, and a few other friends, a Bakers creek Festival, hiking at Ha-Ha Tonka with some of the Ford's, Easter, and a Family Conference in Big Sandy, Texas with the Ford family! Springfield Symphony in Downtown Springfield! Such a beautiful building!! The Symphony!  We also had the pleasure of getting to watch one of the world's best cellists, Bryan Cheng! When you randomly discover that the blue lights in your room make yellow highlighters glow! .....and your siblings ask you to write all over them, and not only do you listen to them but you also think it's a great idea🙈 It's a yellow nose and arms for the win!! Somebody's got a bun in the oven! ;) It's Anna in the background for me! 😂 Got a chance to get some quality time in with this beautiful girl! I love our walks and
